Google Chrome extensions update settings or Preferences file? - browser

I found the brower whether display bookmarks bar by Settings in the option
"Always show the bookmarks bar", it is relative "...Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences" file:
{
......
"bookmark_bar": {
"show_on_all_tabs": false
},
......
}
How can I control the "bookmarks bar" option by API or the file?

I found that Google could not support the relative API by Google search.

How to make Chrome Extension title bar like Google Hangouts?

This isn't working:
How to build an chrome extension like Google Hangouts
My question is similar to this:
How do I customize the title bar of a popup in a chrome extension?
I used chrome.windows.create({...type:panel}); but its appearance is like this:
Is it possible to customize 'Normal title bar' area ?
codes here.
var createWindow = function (tab) {
if (appWindow) {
chrome.windows.remove(appWindow.id);
}
chrome.windows.create({
tabId: tab.id,
url: 'http://localhost:8080',
left: Math.round(screen.width - 300),
top: Math.round(screen.height - 500),
width: 300,
height: 500,
type: 'panel'
}, function(win) {
appWindow = win;
chrome.tabs.executeScript(appWindow.tabs[0].id, { file: './js/app_inject.js'}, function(){
// console.log('inject executed');
});
});
};
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(createWindow);
"//localhost:8080" is my local server page.
I believe your (apparently simple) question implies a couple more questions, so I'll try to split that up and address each one separately:
1. Why does my "panel" look different than Hangouts ?
Hangouts opens as a panel (so it is styled as such).
Your "panel" opens as a popup (so it is styled as such).
2. Why does my "panel" open as a popup ?
In order for an extension to be able to open panel-windows, the user must have this (experimental) feature enabled (and of course the underlying OS must support it). If panels are not enabled, all windows of type 'panel' or 'detached_panel' open as type 'popup' (documentation).
3. How can a user enable panels ?
Navigate to chrome://flags/#enable-panels and click Enable.
4. How is it possible for Hangouts to open panel-windows when the flag is disabled ?
Short answer: It is white-listed in the source code.
Longer answer: Take a look at this answer.
5. Can I style the title-bar of a popup ?
Not really. The title-bar displays (among other things) the title of the page, so you can customize that part :)
6. Do I have an alternative ?
If you absolutely need to be able to style your window, you could use a Packaged App. Apps can open frameless windows, so you can create (and style) a title-bar using HTML/CSS.
If you just want to start a hangout and copy a link to that hangout with 1 click, check out this extension (this is apparently still not an easy thing to do with Google+):

How to programmatically open chrome extension popup.html

I have a created a desktop notification using google extension which works great:
icon = '';
var popup = window.webkitNotifications.createNotification(my notification');
icon, 'Awesome title', 'Click here to view more. ');
popup.show();
Is there a way to launch the actual google extension popup.html (as shown on the image below), when the user click on the the desktop notification?
Thanks.
Short answer is that you can't, but if you want to open the popup in a new tab instead, this is how you would do it:
Put this before you call show
popup.onclick = function() {
chrome.tabs.create({url : "popup.html"});
popup.cancel();
}
I wanted to add to the comment that Miscreant posted.
One approach that might work would be to setup a keyboard shortcut for
the pop up in the extension's manifest, then use an executable file to
artificially trigger that keyboard shortcut. See Native Messaging for
more info about how to communicate with an executable file from an
extension
This is how you set up a shortcut key that opens your extension.
...
"commands": {
"_execute_browser_action": {
"suggested_key": {
"default": "Ctrl+Shift+Y"
}
}
Here's the API on 'commands'.

How to hide View in Browser in document library in sharepoint 2010 using javascript or jquery

I had integrated Office Web Apps in sharepoint 2010. When Document is selected from document Library in context menu I want to hide Option View in Browser and Edit in Browser Option from Document Library.
Is is possible using jquery or javascript If yes can any tell me how ?
I used following css to hide but it only hide Delet option not View in Browser Option
li.ms-MenuUIULItem[text~=Delete]
{
display: none;
}
So I also Modified it as follows
li.ms-MenuUIULItem[text~=View in Browser]
{
display: none;
}
It also didn't work.
Can anyone help me for that ?
It is better to do it with features than doing it with javascript.
You have to create a feature with a HideCustomAction element in it.
The element structure is like this:
<HideCustomAction
GroupId = "[GroupId]"
HideActionId = "[HideActionId]"
Id = "...."
Location = "....">
</HideCustomAction>
And here is a link that will help you find your required actions Id:
http://www.sharepointarchitects.us/johnholliday/post/0001/01/01/how-to-find-customaction-identifiers/
I have created it using jquery
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.ms-MenuUIPopupBody').live('blur', function() {
var elm = $("div.ms-MenuUIULItem a:contains('View in Browser')");
elm.remove();
$("div.ms-MenuUIULItem a:contains('Edit in Browser')").remove();
});
});
It is hiding menu only on focus or blur or mouseover
I wants it to be hide on load AS soon as i Click on "V" option on right side of document it should hide View in Browser and Edit in browser
When I click on V option ![I wants As soon as i Click on v option right side of test it should hide view in Browser and edit in browser][1]

Getting current window on a popup (Google Chrome extension)

I'm building a Google Chrome extension, and I'm trying to get the selected window in a popup. (I'm talking about the popup that shows when you click on the extension icon).
I tried to use the documentation, but I didn't understand it well. Specifically, I tried to use:
chrome.windows.getCurrent(function(w) {
chrome.windows.get(w.id,
function (response){
alert(response.location.href);
});
});
But it didn't work. Any ideas?
Thanks
(sorry if the English is bad).
1) have you added the "tabs" permission to the manifest?
{
"name": "My extension",
...
"permissions": ["tabs"],
...
}
2) It also looks like you should be using the tabs API and not the windows API if you want to know the current URL of the selected tab in the current Window
chrome.windows.getCurrent(function(w) {
chrome.tabs.getSelected(w.id,
function (response){
alert(response.url);
});
});

Detecting Google Chrome Browser Extensions

I was looking for a way to detect the browser extension I am building from my website and I need to alert my users in-case they are viewing my site without it. I have been able to do this in firefox, but I want to know is there a way I can do this in Google Chrome? Even if there is a hack to get this going I am fine.
Sure. Create a content script specific to you site in the extension, and make it add an invisible marker in the DOM, eg:
$('body').append('<div style="display: none;" class="extension_enabled" />');
In the page, set a short timeout to check for this after the document is fully loaded, eg:
$(function() {
setTimeout(function() {
if ($('.extension_enabled').length > 0) {
alert('Installed!');
} else {
alert('Not installed.');
}
}, 500);
});
NOTE: Code in jQuery format for simplicity. You can do it with raw javascript, of course.
The official Google Chrome Extensions Developers' Guide has an item covering exactly this.
